Environmental risks and natural hazards are central to many areas of public policy, and a key factor in the future success of businesses across diverse industry sectors.
The management of these risks is a multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral challenge, in which there is much to be gained from sharing know-how and experience.

 

The Natural Environment Research Council is supporting the KTNs in Industrial Mathematics and Financial Services by expanding an existing special interest group to address these issues on a broader front.

 

This session will benefit:

• Businesses that are exposed to environment risk (including the effects of climate change) in either their current operations or in developing strategic responses to evolving trends
• Government departments and agencies that are seeking to develop appropriate policy frameworks
• Researchers with experience in one or more application domains that could be adapted for wider use

Hosted by representatives of the Industrial Mathematics and Financial Services Knowledge Transfer Networks external speakers will be joining from the public and private sector.

 

Speakers to include:

 

Nafees Meah - Head of Science, Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC)

Lynne Porter - Knowledge Exchange Team, NERC

Stuart Fraser - Aon Benfield Analytics
